Coyle. Yesterday, the 27th inst. at 4 o’clock a.m. after a protracted illness, John Coyle, Esq. of the Treasury Department.
His funeral will take place this day at 4 o’clock from his late residence on the Capitol Hill,
where his friends are invited to attend without further notice.

The National Intelligencer,
Friday, June 29, 1838
The decease of our respected fellow-citizen John Coyle was announced, in our last, in the brief terms in which it was communicated for the press by a near connection of the family. The delicacy which restrained the writer of that notice need not operate upon us to forbid our doing so much justice to sterling worth as to state
that the deceased was a citizen eminently distinguished for those qualities which qualify a man for public usefulness, as well as for those which adorn the religious faith of which he was a zealous professor. He was unwearied in doing good in every way open to him. He signalized himself particularly by his endeavors,
through the means of voluntary associations, and, by appeals in various forms to his fellow-citizens, to promote religion, temperance, and humanity.
It is to his pen that we have been indebted for the efforts, through the attention of Congress to the condition of insane persons in this District, with a view to supply the defect of legal provision for their support, custody, and protection.
He lived, in truth, not for himself, but
for others; and in his death the whole of our community, as well as his immediate friends, have sustained a painful bereavement
